Storms the night before seemed to scatter the bait. No luck with mackerel early, so headed off looking for schools of bunker. The rain looked to have pushed them off-shore as well. Finally found a good school of Macks off the gloucedter humps. Loaded the baitwell and set ip for stripers. The action was fast a consistent, with 8 fish landed in 90 minutes - several over slot.

Large schools of pogies/bunker are passing vlose by Gloucester. We are seeing cow stripers aggressively feeding from underneath. Snagging and live lining ate the tickets. Remember, recreation anglers can keep one fish a piece, and the slot limit continues to be 28-31”.
